Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1327564A2] A knee protecting airbag device comprises an airbag (55), an inflator (47), a case (13) and an airbag cover (30) to be assembled with the case. The case houses the airbag and the inflator, and is fixed to the side of the vehicular body with its rear side open. The airbag cover (30) includes a door (44) and a general portion (31) around the door. The door closes the opening of the case and opens when the airbag expands and inflates. The general portion (31) is surrounded by interior members of the vehicle when mounted on the vehicle. The knee protecting airbag device is mounted on the vehicle in an assembled state in which the airbag (55), the inflator (47) and the airbag cover (30) are joined to the case (13). The airbag cover is joined to the case in a movable manner so as to absorb the dimensional inconsistency between itself and the surrounding interior members. <IMAGE>
